Up to noon everything was quiet
throughout the city, but as soon as the
Pfealdent'o decision was made known
great crowds gathered In front OF the
Chamber Of Deputies. The police cleared
} the approach to tho building and stopped
tr'iils in the vicinity. 11l-
At2:25 r N. President Grevy's message
reslsning the Presidency of the Republic
was road in tho Chamber Of Deputies. In
1t N. Grevy aays he regards the votes
taken In the Senate and Chamber Of Depu-
ties yesterday as dsciuive demonstration
necsssitating his resignation.
The tex: OF NJ. Grevy's message OF res.
ignation is as follows: {. Ei'E2 ;. :, -
80 long "a had only to contend with

my path, the attacks Of tho press, the ab.

gave me hopo Of forming government
and Senate and Chamber Of Deputies
voted a double resolution, which, under
the form OF on adjournment to a flxed
hour to await tho Presideut's promised
message, Is tantamount to sumuouing the
President to resign: 1twould be my duty
and right to resist, but Under tho circum.
stances IN which We are placed, conflict

Tha Deputies received the message with
profound silence, M. Floquot read let.
ter from the President OF the Senate sum.
moning Congress Of tho two Chambers
at Versaii!es tomorrow for the purpose OF
electing 8 nov Preaiaent. The sitting
then closed amid cries OF "Vivel Ia Re-
publiquo."
rs TONE OF THE PARIS PRESS.
The papers are generally Of the opinion
thss alter the cvents Of yesterday, Presi-
dsnt Grevy could not postpone his ,esig-
nation. They approve the attitude Of the
Cbamhere 90 calm and digni6ed. =
ie Sa!el declares that President Crews
action in deferring his resignation was es.
pecially aimed OF NJ Ferry.
Some OF tho papers believe that the
evente Of yesterday will ressore union
among the RspuhiicGns.
The police declare that they arrested NJ,
Paul Dsroueids and Louise Michel yea.
terday to save them from the violence OF
the crowd.
CAN sAussIER CONTROL THE MOE?
Despite tho positive assurauces Of Gen.
eral sauasier, Governor Of Paris, that
every prscaution has been taken in his
means to eecurs life and property, the
worthy citizsns o! that excitement.loyinp
lcspital do not feel altogether safe. The
Gcenes Of the dreadful Commune possess
yet too vivid q coloring in tneir minds'
picture to admit Of sense Of perfect ae.
curity. Thoy remember the wild acts
and b.utal violence Of the Parisian mob
during those tssrlul days, and tremble
nov, at the thought Of. a repetition Of such
deeds. -, =
There wss great stampede yesterday
among householders and thoso who value
what possessions they boast OF. Money
and ]eWsla wero secreted until the danger
be avertad or pasaed are articles OF value
we're slowed in strong places. The better
class OF cit zsrs and thoroughly alarmed
oy last nights occurrences and in some
Localities little huainess has been done in
the shops for the last few days. The mob
demands to know who Ia to be Grevy'e
successor. Alter they havs learned this
ana assentsd IL their peculiar way at the
election ol ncT executive for the Repub.
lie, then il they arc satisfied they will
once moro Income peaceful ctizenB. But
what they will conceive in their minda
and carry out bslore they obtain oatisiac.
tlon no one can tell.
For aome the present situation affords
grand holiday, sensational enough to anti
the taste OF lncst Psriaisna. 10 others 1t
ahords SEASON OF worry and fear, and
many On earneet wish hes been expressed
70 have President Grevy remain at the
head OF tho government and thue prevent
tho chaca which new election will cause,
| The vacll!asion OF NJ. Grevy vas due to
thia feeling on tho part OF the people. and
thus he wss placsu in difficult position.
between wishing TO do the best Tor tha
welfare Of the republic and to satisiy the
agitation. It Ia hoped here that the elec.
| tlca at Versall!ea will pass of quietly and
shat Gen. Ssusaier is able to mset any dit-
hCulty that may arise. ~.
